[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 1551367, member: 22572"] I did make time this morning for some more exploring of the nearby area. In particular I decided to go explore what looks like a pile of rubble on top of the stone wall in the distance. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/c30cff39ef6bfefb40d4ff0d9abec29c.jpg[/IMG] I know this to be a neolithic settlement but it is fenced off (for its own protection) and I had never visited it up close. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/cf1617292c153cb8ddbc23b99f14830d.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/8d7215688e3f3a958b5ad3b9314b2453.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/9215505930e8725a8b594f309dce5422.jpg[/IMG] Somehow I managed to overlook the fact that the fence and the locked gate were there for a good reason, to keep out people like me. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/513351aeee0039d8ea85ca644027b5a3.jpg[/IMG] In my defense, I was extremely careful not to step on anything even remotely significant and leave everything just exactly as it was. To my untrained eye it looked quite fascinating. Looked like a main enclosure defended by an outer perimeter thick defence wall containing a number of smaller circular buildings. Of course only the bottom parts of the walls survived but baring in mind that this thing is several thousands of years old we can not ask for more! [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/b6d083987e4f062daebc5580d7c01689.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/868bc64a788117e5ffee7d106df6d627.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/a2de3dd4d81b86ba678dd83da55db9ac.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/74cc9d3263bed5cb16181bcf4d49266c.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/9e449b54a3d4aea1641704930e7ffb21.jpg[/IMG] I have no idea what they used these carved stones for but there was a few of them about [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/254f64f1f62ecce650ebd20186b1aa9c.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/bfb0979fbf86eb6cb132651845a125f9.jpg[/IMG] It would be nice if a way was found to safely exhibit this area, perhaps using elevated glass corridor, rather than just having it fenced off. Some information about what exactly this is would also be very useful. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/45a0118f2480ad500f5f13adf403f6d0.jpg[/IMG] As it happens I recognised some features from visiting a similar though much larger neolithic settlement elsewhere in Cyprus in a place called Chirokitia.
